问题    The country’s inadequate mental health system gets the most attention after instances of mass violence that the nation has seen repeatedly over the past few months. Not all who【C1】______these sorts of cruelties are mentally ill, but 【C2】______ have been. After each, the national discussion quickly, but temporarily, turns toward the mental health services that may have 【C3】______to prevent another attack.
   Mental illness usually is not as dangerous or dramatic.【C4】_____23 million Americans live with mental disorder, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Very few of these men and women are【C5】______mass-murderers; they need help for their own well-being and for that of their【C6】______. The Affordable Care Act has significantly increased insurance coverage 【C7】______ mental health care. But that may not be enough to expand 【C8】______ to insufficient mental-health-care resources.
   Tim Murphy has a bill that would do so. The Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act is more 【C9】______ than other recent efforts to reform the system and perhaps has the brightest prospects in a divided Congress. The【C10】______would reorganize the billions the federal government pours into mental health services. It would【C11】______the way Medicaid pays for certain mental health treatments. It would fund mental health clinics that【C12】______certain medical standards. And it would【C13】______states to adopt policies that allow judges to order some severely mentally ill people to undergo treatment.
   Not everyone is satisfied. Some patients’ advocates have【C14】______Mr. Murphy’ s approach as coercive and【C15】______to those who need help. The government should not be expanding the system’ s capability to hospitalize or impose treatment on those【C16】______severe episodes, they say. It should instead be investing in community care that【C17】______the need for more serious treatment.【C18】______, for a small class who will not accept treatment between hospital visits or repeat arrests, they say, states have good reason to【C19】______them to accept care, under judicial supervision. Mr. Murphy’s reform package may not prevent the next Sandy Hook.【C20】______the changes would help relieve a lot of suffering that does not make the front page.
【C19】

选项 A、invite
B、allow
C、require
D、refute

答案C

解析 此处的句意为“……政府有理由——他们在司法监督下接受治疗”。根据前文 的分析,此处应为政府对病人的敦促或强制,故C.require“要求,命令”符合题意,为正确 答案。invite“邀请”在语气上不符合语境,应排除。政府从未禁止病人就医,故allow“允 许”不符合题意;refute“反驳,驳斥”后跟言论或人作宾语,但无refute sb.to do sth.的结 构,且在含义上不符合语境,故排除。
